Happy St. Patrick's Day!

If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I'd never believe it. This past weekend the city of Chicago celebrated St. Patricks day with a really big parade and a very bright green river!  Isn't that the craziest thing? They turn the river green!

It's thought that a leprechaun appears very early and magically makes the river green. Turns out the tradition started with a plumber who approached the city with an idea to use a dye, initially developed to detect leaks into a river, to make this Chicago channel glow emerald. Other cities have tried to emulate this unique Chicago tradition, but for some strange reason or perhaps for the luck of the huge Irish population in this city, it only works here!

Happy St. Patrick's day!
